Robotized system for in-pipe inspection
2003 IEEE International Symposium on Industrial Electronics ( Cat. No.03TH8692), 2004This paper reports the development and experimental evaluation of robotized system devised to perform two kinds of measurements inside a pipeline: the thickness of the internal wall painting layer and the internal radius. The thickness measurement allows the inspection of the painting layer quality and, by measuring several radii, it is possible to ...

Spherical ultrasonic motor for pipe inspection robot
IEEE ISR 2013, 2012We present a pipe inspection robot using a newly developed spherical ultrasonic motor (SUSM) as a camera actuator. The novel SUSM has improved the range of movement compared to previous SUSMs, and the robot can point a camera in any direction. In this study, we determined a method for controlling the rotational direction and strategic control from the ...

Design of a Pneumatically Driven Inchworm-Like Gas Pipe Inspection Robot with Autonomous Control
International Conference on Soft Robotics, 2023Periodic inspection of aging gas pipes is important. However, the conventional inspection approach of excavation is unfriendly to the environment. From the perspective of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), in this study, we introduced a pneumatically ...

An Inspection Robot of Sewerage Pipes
IFAC Proceedings Volumes, 2001Abstract A diagnostic system is developed which acquires the positions and the information of the inner-wall defects of the sewerage pipes such as crack, damage and through hole by applying a remote controlled robot and a sensor system. The sensor system consists of a laser slit beam and a CCD camera, and measures3D profile of the pipe's inner ...

Automated pipe inspection robot
Industrial Robot: An International Journal, 1997Automated inspection of the inner surface of a pipe can be achieved by a mobile robot. Pipe inspection is necessary to locate defects due to corrosion and wear while the pipe is transporting fluids. Pipe inspection devices are available for these tasks; they commonly use ultrasonic or magnetic flux variation to detect defects.

Long-mover: Flexible Tube In-pipe Inspection Robot for Long Distance and Complex Piping
2018 IEEE/ASME International Conference on Advanced Intelligent Mechatronics (AIM), 2018This paper presents a novel flexible tube type in-pipe inspection robot driven by pneumatics. The goal of this robot is to carry a wired camera for inspection and a nozzle for cleaning by moving over a distance of 50m or more in piping with a bore ...
